Owen's play was a big reason the Jackals came within three points of making the playoffs after a late push. He came over in a trade with the Indy Fuel and posted a 9-3-0-1 record, a .926 saves percentage and a 2.30 goals-against average over 13 games.

LeBoeuf had a goal and nine assists in 63 games with Elmira. Young contributed three goals and six assists in 29 games.

Langkow was Elmira's third-leading scorer last season with 47 points (13 goals, 34 assists) in 69 games. Bennett had nine goals and 14 assists in 54 games, Stroh had 11 goals and seven assists in 62 games, and Stefishen had three goals and an assist in 11 games.

ECHL teams were allowed to reserve the rights to a maximum of eight qualified players. No more than four could be considered veterans, with players with at least 260 regular-season professional games qualifying as veterans. Players who had signed by June 30 did not need to receiver qualifying offers.

Qualifying offers are available to be accepted until Aug. 1. After that, the offers become void and teams may sign players to any salary or take no other action.

Teams that extend valid qualifying offers to a veteran retain the rights to that player until Aug. 1. Veterans who are unsigned at that point become restricted free agents.

The Jackals are still without a head coach after the team and Jamie Russell agreed last month to part ways after two seasons. Russell had a record of 69-63-12 with Elmira and the Jackals missed the playoffs both seasons.

Elmira is the ECHL affiliate of the American Hockey League's Rochester Americans and the National Hockey League's Buffalo Sabres.
